What looks like a small component can often present a very big manufacturing challenge. A single medical device component may require intricate geometries, extremely tight tolerances, miniature features, and materials that are anything but easy to machine. Add the demands of medical device manufacturing, where consistency and precision are critical, and a seemingly simple part can quickly become one of the most challenging pieces of a device to produce. This is where advanced machining capabilities make a difference. Cadence specializes in difficult-to-manufacture components for medical and surgical devices. Our machining capabilities have continued to evolve as our OEM partners' designs have become more sophisticated, including the addition of advanced multi-axis equipment that gives our teams greater flexibility and precision. With capabilities spanning 5-axis machining, Swiss machining, micro machining, LaserSwiss machining, and our 13-axis machining platform, Cadence can approach complex components from multiple angles and, in many cases, perform several operations in a single setup. This technology can reduce secondary operations, minimize handling, improve repeatability,...

Great engineering careers are built through hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities that make an impact from day one. Cadence’s Rotational Engineering Program is designed to do exactly that, giving emerging engineers the chance to collaborate with experienced teams and mentors, explore multiple disciplines, and contribute to meaningful work in medical device contract manufacturing. A key benefit of Cadence’s Rotational Engineering Program is the opportunity for emerging engineers to gain experience across different technical specialties and operational areas. While rotations vary based on business needs, participants are exposed to areas such as injection molding and overmolding, automation, Cadence’s Quality Management System (QMS), CNC sharpening/grinding, and cleanroom manufacturing and assembly. This hands-on experience helps engineers build a broad understanding of medical device manufacturing while developing technical skills and identifying areas of interest for future career growth. Cadence launched its Rotational Engineering Program in October 2023 to help develop future innovators through collaboration, mentorship, and immersive learning experiences. This...
